Abstract: *Mutations*, edited by Rem Koolhaas, Stefano Boeri, Sanford Kwinter, and Nadia Tazi, is a visually rich exploration of contemporary urban transformation. Through essays and studies, the book investigates how globalization, communication networks, and rapid urbanization are reshaping cities worldwide. It features detailed analyses of regions such as the Pearl River Delta, Europe, American metropolises, and Lagos, highlighting emerging urban forms and behaviors. Combining architectural insight with sociopolitical critique, *Mutations* captures the shifting nature of city life and challenges traditional urban models, offering a critical look at how modern forces are redrawing the global urban landscape.
